but this other girl was mega sweet to me and it was nice. then my chalet mates found me asleep and shivering violently the next morning. i blame the bearded texas man who wasn't josh t pearson and told me he was in lift to experience for giving me a large bottle of vodka :(

is not so much that i disagree with what they're saying, but the way they are saying it.

trashing a lab is basically saying "our opinion is right and yours is wrong", like the scientists at Huntingdon Life Sciences haven't considered the ethical implications of what they are doing. It's so fucking patronising.

these people aren't forced into this job. They go into it on their own accord. They must have some sick, horrible part of their brain, with which they can detach themselves from the fact they're torturing a creature that doesn't even know where it is.

Its been going on for decades and decades. Millions and millions of animals have been killed, in really horrible ways.

Cancer and AIDS are still going strong. As are loads of other terminal illnesses.

I don't think about it often, because I'm soft to it, and it affects me more than anything else, animal cruelty. But yeah. Good luck to them.

I'm probably very misinformed on what they all do. All I know is what they're campaigning for is something I agree with, and its not like they're going round beating up innocent, defenceless people who've done nothing wrong.

just because a militant anti-animal testing minority think it's wrong doesn't mean it isn't. i don't like this tendency by protesters to immediate slap wrong and right onto things. all I really know about it is that under the laws of the country scientists are free to test on animals under certain guidelines laid down by a democratically elected government and that animal rights protesters are free to protest against this in a peaceful manner.

i think it's a bit dangerous to be slapping "wrong" and "right" labels on these things...

it's kind of similar to Blair going to war, he knew it wouldn't be pleasant, and it turned out to be a bad decision, lots of people disagreed with it but he still genuinely thought he was doing the right thing.

i think scientists who work in animal testing are in a similar position. though i'm not sure it's so obviously "wrong" as a war is... Just because they haven't cured cancer or AIDS doesn't mean they haven't made breakthroughs in treating it with the help of animal testing...

that said - sticking a human ear on the back of a mouse is right fucked.

- The research on people would be much more accurate, and ecologically valid, than research on a parrot or something.

- Prisons are full, and the tax payer is paying £500 a week to keep these abominations alive, in fairly good conditions.

- Let them contribute something to society again.

Basically, I'm totally right. These people are already just fucking slowly dying in prisons. How is researching cures on stuff on them any more unethical than locking them up for life? Like I said, see my points.

I think its foolproof. The ONLY opposition there is to it is these wet farts who are all: 'Who are you to take another person's life????'. Test on them too, the CUNTS.
